1) buy NEW MBP w/ SSD or 2) buy REFURB and intel SSD

Hello, first off I'm new to mac. I need a new computer right away as I was laid-off and work wants thier computer back. My orginal plan was to wait to the MBP came out with quad cores and get a 17"...but plans have changed.

Now I'm looking at getting a MBP 13". The price for the 2 option I'm loking at comes to about the same (within $25-50).
